In his first public appearance amidst widespread death rumors, King Charles III of the United Kingdom welcomed Korean War veterans at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday, marking 70 years since the armistice that ended the conflict.
The royal family confirmed the event on social media, emphasizing the monarch’s engagement with veterans in commemorating the historic milestone.
Reports of King Charles III’s death surfaced online, prompting the UK embassy in Russia to issue a statement debunking the rumors as “FAKE.”
The 75-year-old monarch had been battling cancer, with Buckingham Palace announcing his diagnosis in early February.
While undergoing treatment, he postponed public duties, the palace stated, without disclosing further details about the cancer type or stage.
